Your phone number might be ineligible for Google Voice verification for several reasons: it could be already linked to another Google Voice account, it might be a VoIP or prepaid number, or you may have reached the verification limit. Try a different number or check Google's support page for more details.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Why can't I use my VoIP number to verify Google Voice? VoIP numbers are often not accepted for Google Voice verification due to restrictions by Google to prevent abuse and maintain service integrity.
  2. What should I do if I've reached the verification limit for Google Voice? If you've reached the verification limit, you'll need to wait before attempting to verify another number or consider using an alternative phone number that hasn't been used for Google Voice.
  3. Can I use a prepaid phone number for Google Voice verification? Prepaid phone numbers are typically not eligible for Google Voice verification, as Google requires a regular mobile number to ensure account verification and security.
  4. How can I check if my phone number is already linked to another Google Voice account? You can check for linkage by attempting to sign up a Google Voice account with your number. If it's already linked, you'll receive a notification indicating this status.
